NASA released their global climate summary for May on Monday. It showed that by their calculation, May set a new record for warmth this year. NOAA will release their numbers later this week, which may be somewhat different from NASA’s due to differences in calculation due to different data sets. This record warmth makes it 99 percent certain that 2016 will be the warmest year on record, even though El Niño has officially ended. You can read more about it at Climate Central here.
